The food was really terrible. I don’t get what all the hype is about. It was borderline inedible. We went home hungry. Steaks were overcooked and unseasoned. Mashed potatoes were oddly metallic tasting and smelled like fish. I don’t even know how that’s possible, but there you have it. Not recommended at all unless you want to waste time/money. To their credit, the service was actually pretty solid. Attentive server.

The prime rib was great and large portions. Staff a little slow and took forever to get the bill. When I tried to pay at the check in desk I was told I needed to wait for my server.
Overall pretty good and for those that are interested, an episode of the office was filmed here.

For the past 3 years my work has been coming here to celebrate Christmas.
Since we work for the entertainment industry, this place is fitting since it has a long history of being a part of Hollywood.
First of all, it’s located literally across the street from Warner Bros. Studios.
Since it is so close to WB, producers, directors, writers, and actors have had business meals here.
Meanwhile, the restaurant itself has been featured in several TV shows and movies, like “Argo”.
One of the most distinctive features of this restaurant are its red leather booths.
The art on the walls are of old Hollywood.
It’s nice that they decorate the place inside and out for the holidays. I even saw a cabinet with Hanukkah decorations.
Since my work reserves the private room right off the entrance, I’ve never sat in the iconic red leather booths, nor have I ever been to the far nooks and crannies that I’ve seen posted online. Like I know there’s outdoor seating as well, but I’ve never so much as had a glimpse of it in person.
I also know the restaurant has a bigger menu, but our private room comes with a much smaller menu and it’s the same offerings every year:
We get appetizers which include ribs, artichokes, salad, and cheesy bread.
The cheesy bread here is different in that the top is crunchy, like they pounded Cheetos to a powder and baked it on top.
Since I’m vegetarian, I always order the same thing, the one vegetarian dish from the smaller menu: pasta.
The pasta is ok. It has red sauce and a few vegetables.
This year, I was the last person served because although steak takes longer to cook than pasta, this is a smokehouse, after all, so the steaks came out sooner. At least my pasta arrived nice and hot.
For dessert, it’s cheesecake with a strawberry sauce drizzled on top. It’s dense and has the right amount of sweetness.
We also have a 2 drink minimum each.
This year, the waiters were very attentive about making sure our glasses were filled with water.
When I tried to catch the waitress’s eye to ask for something, I was pretty much ignored, but she was quick to attend to my boss who would ask for things on my behalf.
In a prior year, I remember one of the waiters carelessly plopping the cheesecake on the plates. This year, they were more careful.
One of my bosses gave me his leftover sides which included a baked potato and green beans. Eaten together with my leftover pasta, it all tasted really good and I got another 2 meals out of them.
I wish that for the vegetarian option they would do that instead: pasta, baked potato, and green beans on one plate. The pasta alone, although a decent big size, is just ok.
I also wish they did tours because like I said, I’ve always only been regulated to that one private room in the front. I would love to see the rest of the place.
This year, I planned to wander on my own, but it was so packed with people that just trying to get to the restroom required squeezing through everyone in the lobby.
Plus, I don’t know if you’re allowed to wander around. To me it seemed like you’re assigned your section and that’s where you stay.
For parking, it’s $8 for valet, but cash only.
So the Hollywood history is great. The food, especially if you’re a vegetarian with only the scaled down menu to work with, is ok. The quality of service varies. The decorations, especially around the holidays are nice, but be prepared for shoulder to shoulder people packed in the lobby if you are coming around the holidays for dinner.

I was in the neighborhood and came here on a whim for lunch knowing it would probably be busy, but it was a short wait and I was truly so thrilled I decided to eat here. The food was exactly what you would want – no frills, but perfectly cooked and seasoned. Despite the crowd the staff was very attentive. I had a fantastic lunch and I hope to come back. You can’t beat the atmosphere either.

Can’t beat the old school, Hollywood atmosphere. The bar looks like it’s right out of a movie (because it is). The service is top notch. The food is always good. You have to get their world famous garlic bread. If you’re a true meat eater, the prime rib is what you want. It’s always seasoned to perfection and cooked perfectly. If you want good food in a unique environment, this is your place.

Love this place. They tricked me when they said worlds best garlic bread (it’s good, but not worlds best) but it’s still good food, good environment, great price. They even gave me a free dessert for my birthday. Will definitely come back.

I sampled the burgers ribs and pulled pork and the pulled pork really stood out with its rich flavor. The fries were simple but the overall experience was elevated by the lovely atmosphere and stunning orchid decor. The ambiance made the visit truly enjoyable.

Absolutely love this place! Went for lunch for our anniversary with my wife and the food was delicious. We ordered the prime rib, french onion soup, garlic bread, calamari, and caesar salad. The food came hot, quick, and ready to be devoured. Our waiter, Eddie, was attentive and polite. I can’t wait to come back here and try out the other dishes!

Love this place. Portions are huge and yes the prices are pretty decent compared to other places. My family and I came on an extremely busy night but we met some new people and had an awesome time celebrating my husbands birthday.
